Skills

Starting out as a developer I began life as a C# enthusiast. Coding everything under the sun in C# and loved every minute of it. Now days I have refocused on mobile development and have found my place
in the realm of Java development for the Android platform. I never consider myself an expert because it would give me nothing to look forward to learning if I reach the pinnacle of knowledge like some think they have.

Barcode Generation Library (C#)

Virtual Dyno

Use software to log your cars data?
Wonder how much horsepower and torque your car puts out?
Look no further because Virtual Dyno does this for you in an easy to
use interface, and without copying and pasting your data into an excel
spreadsheet. Quickly and easily save pictures of your dyno graphs to
post on forums, email to your friends or compare with others.

This project encompasses the mobilization of the Virtual Dyno project that was done previously. Simplification of the user interface for mobile consumption and the ability to record its own data will be a part of this project.

Client Testimonials

Brad focuses on not only the maintainability of a product, but moreso on the user's experience with it. In doing so a product he's involved with will be left the better for everyone who has stake in it.

-Justin Hamsley

I worked with Brad at AIMS Logistics. He was great to work with and easy to get along with. One of his greatest strengths to me was his ability to communicate. Being responsible for the IT infrastructure it was imperative that we always have good communication along with a good working relationship. -Joe Behling

Brad Barnhill's strength is that he cares about all the details of his work equally vehemently. Small issues like incorrect keyboard tab-key order in a user interface, or a slightly inefficient database query, although at opposite ends of the software spectrum, do not escape his scrutiny. -Marshall Porter
